The file reads in parameters and two of the parameters used to be in Date Format YYYYMMDD but will now permanently be in format YYYY-MM-DD. This change, I believe, is stopping the import of the file from working. I would like to replace the new format YYYY-MM-DD back to YYYYMMDD in the code. If possible I'd also like to see some output so I know that the old format has been replaced with the new format. The code is below. I added the two rows with .replace code in green in expecting that to be enough but it is still not working.
Public Sub Main() Dim R1, O1, P1, C1, strDateFrom, strDateTo, strRunDate As String
I'm working on a timekeeping application in Visual Basic 2008 and am having trouble formatting a timespan for display. Here's how I want to the information:If a positive number my Label will be: lblTimespan.txt will show as "12 Hours And 15 Minutes" This works fine.If its a negative number I want to display it as "(12 Hours And 15 Minutes)'[ in red. The problem is that I can't get rid of the minus sign. [code] Thr Replace doesn't seem to want to replace the "-", can anyone suggest what to do?
I have a bunch of object variables which are all initialised in their declarations such that:
Private _myObject As New ThisObject("SomeString")
where ThisObject is one of a number of object types, but all are initialised using a string.
I would like to use the Visual Studio Find/Replace dialog box to search for "As New" then replace everything from "As New" to the first set of speech marks with some text such that:
EDIT
My original example could be solved using other methods. This example is more representative of the actual problem:
Private _myObjectA As New ThisObjectA("SomeString") Private _myObjectLongName As New ThisObjectLongName("SomeString")
I am trying to filter out all unwanted characters from a string. All I want in the string is letters A-Z, numbers 0-9 as well as comma (,) plus (+) and quotes (").I figured how to do the letters and numbers, but the 3 special characters are giving me a problem. I also tried with the Chr(34) equivelant for the " sign, but no luck, as and " or , messes up the way the code is read. Here�s what I have so far, but it only works for A-Z and 0-9:
This code is working fine, but now I want to replace two times and I want to use the replace function twice. Something like this, but it is not working . Can anyone tell me how to use Replace function multiple times?
Simple Code lookup to get Description I have a static list of Street Type Abbreviations and their associated Street Type Descriptions: RD to Road. I have the complete list needed. There are 37 elements in the list - 37 Street Type Abbreviations with their associated Descriptions. The lookup will only happen once. The input lookup field is in a single field: stType.
I'm using vb 2010, and a newbie programmer I just want to ask how to change the description of the .exe file from WindowApplication1 to something else and how to change its icon? By the way, does applications made in vb 2010 requires .net Framework to run? Because i tried to run my .exe file in another pc but it gives me an error.
I want to put some description/tooltip text within textbox control which will vanish when the focus is on that control. Its similar to that like in the search box above. When the search box is empty it shows "Search MSDN with Bing" and when the contol gets the focus that string vanishes.
I want to get the description of an external .exe file from my vb.net app, rather like in task manager. My program can monitor active processes and open their file locations, but it cannot get their descriptions (like in task manager) I want it to be able to do this, and I've found the following code to get the description of a normal file (I had to re-write it from csharp):
Public Class Myform Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices <StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)> _
[Code]....
For example, if the process 'dwm.exe' is open, then I want my program to get the description "Desktop Window Manager." I want it to be universal for any program so it can be done with any open process.
<ProvideProperty("NullableBinding", GetType(TextBox))> _ <Description("Set to True if this textbox is bound to a nullable property.")> _ Partial Public Class NullableExtender
I have a form that has appx 20 checkboxes. The data is stored in xml. We would like to have a textbox or panel at the bottom of the screen to display information about the check box. Just like the property box in the IDE. The information will be store in the description attribute. Does vb.net have functions that do that already or do I need to program for that? Also would I be best to but the description attribute on the xml or the property on the programs?
How do I make my app have a description in the Processes tab of the Task Manager? Changing the assembly description doesn't do it apparently. Right now the description is just it's name.
I want to set a directory worth or files to a certain decription, I know how to list all the files in a directory but how do I set a files description attribute to what I want it to be?
is there any way to get the Description of an application using VB.NET? So for example, instead of displaying Word.doc, Powerpoint.ppt... etc in a listbox, is it possible to display Microsoft Office Word 2007 if lets say the default return name is the shortcut name(with extension)?
EDIT: To check the Description of an application, go to your application, right click -> Properties -> General and you'll see the Description text.
This is how it goes. Currently, I'm using OpenFileDialog to open a file. However, am I able to get the Description(right click any program -> Properties -> General) of the file that I've chosen from there? I've found some leads with this .NET Application's Assembly path and Information. But that only applies to your own application itself.
Where do you put the "main code" for lack of a better description? I can find all sorts of places to put code based on events like button clicks or forms loading. However, I can't seem to find a place to run code without an event (just idling).Basically I'm looking to monitor a file and call a sub when it changes. I can monitor the file fine based on the size but I can't figure out where to put code to call a sub when that changes. Everything seems based on user actions but that doesn't work in this case.
